    What would you do if God came to dinner? Abraham gives his best to the Lord and receives fellowship, promise, and plans for the future in return.

    Two things are accomplished in this chapter - a visit from God Himself for two reasons: blessings and judgment. God is reminding Abraham - and especially Sarah - of the promised son, and to engage Abraham in a discussion about judging sin. It teaches about God’s character and intercession. Verse ...read more

During that time, Ishmael, Abraham’s son by Hagar had been born and grown to a boy of 13. Abraham and Sarah had grown to the age of 99 and 89 which made ...read more
